Cell Phones vs The Bible

Cell Phones vs The BibleEver wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones?What if we carried it around in our pockets and purses?What if we flipped through it several times a day?What if we turned back around to go home and get it when we forgot it?What if we used it to receive messages?What if we treated it as though we couldn't live without it?What if we gave it to others, to our children, as gifts?What if we used it when we traveled?What if we used it in case of emergency?

I'm sure you can come up with many more questions about the use of our cell phones...and our computers, televisions, our iPods, shopping and work even, or whatever else occupies a great deal of our daily time. They all represent the world system and it's allurements. perhaps it's time for all of us to 'get out of Egypt' and see all the power God is revealing to us. Our weather, the illnesses that plague our world, the financial markets, the world order. How much leaven do you still have hidden in your heart?

Great post!! Something to think about!! I heard one time an analogy similar to yours...when someone leaves their house in the morning forgetting their cell phone they are lost for the whole day...but how many people are lost without studying God's Word before they leave home??

No indulgences of self will can be trivial, no denial unprofitable; Heaven or Hell depends on this alone. A parent who studies to subdue it in his child works together with God in the renewing and saving of their soul. The parent who indulges it does the devil's work, makes religion impractical, salvation unattainable, and does all that in him lies to damn his child, soul and body, forever.
